Intel lost the hardware fight. But it lost all along as the most profitable part is software or who control the ecosystem. Microsoft and Apple. Not Intel.
It is amd cannot beat nvidia but the ecosystem of Ai (but not game) is what the lost is.

I work for a decade as mainframe technical support mostly install fix. And because of these lately when I spent 3 months as a hobby to change the turbo bridge to take external bridge card. I injected code or hacking of the code like jes2 exit and without touching much the host program modify the host program behaviour.
This is very different from my colleagues who are application programmer who can totally change a cics module involving even changing db2 schema.
What is a modification meant in this title … I wonder.
